FLEMING ISLAND - Despite a surprising 45-yard scoring run in the first quarter, the first time for the Fleming Island High girl's flag football team to open with a gap in front of them, Golden Eagles quarterback Devyn Dudones calmly worked midlevel passes downfield to tie the game with a 35 yard toss to wideout London Jenkins and a PAT pass to Jenkins to put Fleming Island on top by just one point, 7-6.
Paxon, also unbeaten 5-0 upon arrival, was not going away easy with their retaliatory strike, a 25-yard run play that retook the lead, 12-7.
Need a score; Dudones to Jenkins with a handful of hip twists, ankle break cuts and 25 yards to paydirt. PAT to Daisy Fletcher and Fleming Island goes up 14-12.
Before the half, an interception puts Jenkins on the path to a six-yard scoring run and PAT to go up 21-12.
Jenkins' final salvo was a 62-yard interception returned for a score to the 28-12 final.
At Oakleaf on Friday, in a back-and-forth scoring bonanza, Oakleaf withstood a first half of interceptions; one from Ansley Nicholas returned to the 10-yard line and one by Jada Blanton to the five-yard line, to scores by Orange Park to walk away with an overtime 32-26 win.
Orange Park (3-2) has wins over West Nassau (33-0), Wolfson (31-0), and Bishop Snyder (28-0); losses to Ridgeview (12-6) and Oakleaf (32-26). Next up: March 19 vs. Clay, March 22 vs. Keystone Heights, March 26 vs. Florida Deaf.
